  6. In another bowl, mix together the milk, oil, eggs and pineapple.

  7. Pour this into the dry ingredients.

  9. Smooth the tops then bake for 25 30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the tops are slightly springy to the touch.

  10. Place the cakes on a wire rack to cool.

  11. Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together in a small bowl (use hand-held electric beaters to make this easier).
